Sorry I am reposting this because the spacing got all jumbled and that is important when it comes to poetry.
Adding on to Lucy’s post:
The Once-ler shouted out with glee
For he couldn’t believe what his eyes could see
The Lorax walking simply forward
Not to be mistaken with a Morward.
The Lorax looked at President Oborax
And said to him, “is that all?
You propose a bill?
That’s no better than a gill!
You must go to the UN
And become a world leader of men.
You must lead the World Summit
Copenhagen cannot be a Plummit.”
President Oborax starred at him
His mouth a wide,
His tonsils a flapping.
How dare this Lorax speak to him like that?
Does he not know he could crush him flat?
President Oborax rose to his full height
And shouted to the Lorax with all his might:
“My bill will have success with Congress.
Do not digress,
For it will be a success.
I have faith in my representatives.
They are not tentative.
The Lorax looked at him sadly,
And wanted to say oh so badly
That Congress would let him down.
The bill would drop like a crown.
“You must go to Copenhagen.
And lead with robust.
Call up to all nations,
Do not go for summations.
Lead this fight,
Without any fright.
Curb carbon emissions by 30%
No less.
The levels must be at 30%
below 1990 level’s.
We can only raise our temperature
By two more degrees.
Or who knows,
The Polar bears may freeze?
Call on all nations,
North and South
Call on all nations
With a Shout.
Something must done,
Nations can not be spun.”
